David Weisman Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 FPImposer will not save Advanced Ordering. I reverse Horizontal and Vertical, Save. When I reopen the fpi files, the Ordering has reverted to default. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreimer Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hmmm, not seeing that for me. Seeing your other post with the crashing, you may want to reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of question is impossible to answer without, at a minimum, knowing what version of FusionPro you're using, and on what platform (Windows or Mac).

ScottHillock Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Your Advanced Ordering is saved in the fpi file. If you reopen the file though, and open the Advanced dialog again, the values will resort to defaults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Korn Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for the additional information. After some investigation, it turns out that this is a very old bug in FP Imposer for Mac, going all the way back to the very first release of FP Imposer, as far as I can tell. It's very unusual for a bug to be in the field this long, so kudos for finding and reporting it, and we apologize for this being broken for all this time. The Windows version is unaffected by this bug. We're still working on a fix to be included in an upcoming release. However, as Scott notes, the selected settings are indeed saved, so you can still use FP Imposer and the settings you specify will work at composition time. Also, if you re-open the FPI file and re-save it with changes, without entering that Advanced Settings dialog, the ordering will be unchanged. However, if you do open the Advanced Settings dialog, the settings will not necessarily reflect what was saved in the FPI file, and re-saving it may change those settings. So, there's not really any workaround, other than to be careful if you're using the Advanced Settings, but for the vast majority of use cases, this bug should be benign, which is probably why it's been undetected until now.

Dan Korn Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The newest version of FPImposer 9.3.6 does not fix this issue. Sorry, that fix didn't quite make it into the 9.3.6 release. It will definitely be fixed in the next 9.3 patch release for Mac. If you have an immediate need for the fixed version, please contact Support.
